LONGMONT, Colo. (CBS4) – Police are looking for suspects who damaged more than 100 headstones at a century-old cemetery in Longmont. The damage done will cost tens of thousands of dollars to fix.

Police don’t have any leads yet but have collected solid evidence from the crime scene in Mountain View Cemetery.

Along with the headstones, a Civil War monument was pushed over and destroyed over the weekend. The statue alone was worth up to $40,000. The case is tied to a string of vandalism at the cemetery dating back to June 30.

“We know at least two people had climbed up on this monument,” cemetery manager Tracey George said. “We have some (footprints) … where they stood up here to push the (statue) down off the top.”

Granite headstones and statues weighing thousands of pounds were knocked over and destroyed. The Civil War statue from 1909 was also decapitated. The vandals left the cemetery with the statue’s head. It was recovered two days later.
